# Style file upload fields

You can customize how Uploadery’s file upload field looks on your product page. This allows you to restyle the upload button and change the text that appears before and after a file is uploaded.

This guide applies to themes that use `product.liquid` or `main-product.liquid`.

Follow the steps below to make these changes.

### Step 2: Locate Your Product Template File

In the **Templates** folder, look for:

```
product.liquid
```

If your theme does not have `product.liquid` and instead uses `product.json`Go to the **Sections** folder and open:

```
main-product.liquid
```

### Step 3: Add the Uploadery Script

Scroll to the bottom of the file and paste the following code:

```html
<script>
  Shoppad.$(function () {
    Shoppad.$(document).on(
      'uploadSuccess',
      'form[data-uploadery]',
      function (e) {
        Shoppad.$(e.target).addClass('upload-complete');
      }
    );
  });
</script>
```

Click **Save**.

### Step 4: Add Custom Styling in Uploadery

1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Apps > Uploadery**
2. Click the **Settings** tab
3. In the **Custom CSS** field, paste the following code:

```css
#uploadery-container input[type='file'] {
  width: 0.1px;
  height: 0.1px;
  opacity: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: -1;
}

#uploadery-container input[type='file']:active {
  outline: none;
}

#uploadery-container label > div {
  width: 100%;
  height: 40px;
  cursor: pointer;
  border: 1px solid #ececec;
  background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;base64,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');
  background-size: 30px 30px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: 2% center;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 42px;
}

#uploadery-container label > div:after {
  content: 'Upload File';
}

#uploadery-container .upload-complete label > div:after {
  content: 'Upload Complete!';
}
```

Click **Save**, then refresh your product page.

<figure><img src="/files/PL2wNbtazll5zd6aH9QH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click **Save**, then refresh your product page to view the changes.

### Updating the Text Within the Upload Field

To change the text displayed on the upload button, edit this section of your Custom CSS:

```css
#uploadery-container label > div:after {
  content: 'Upload File';
}

#uploadery-container .upload-complete label > div:after {
  content: 'Upload Complete!';
}
```

Replace the text inside the quotes with your preferred messages.

The first message appears before a file is selected.\
The second message appears after the upload is complete.

Click **Save** and refresh your product page.

### Optional: Show the File Name After Upload

If you would like the uploaded file name to display instead of “Upload Complete,” follow these steps.

#### Step 1: Replace the Script in Your Theme File

Remove the script from Step 3 above and replace it with this version:

```html
<script>
  Shoppad.$(function() {
    Shoppad.$(document).on('uploadSuccess', 'form[data-uploadery]', function(e) {
      var uploaderyFileName = e.originalEvent.detail.file.match(/[^\/]+$/)[0];
      uploaderyFileName = uploaderyFileName.substr(uploaderyFileName.indexOf('-') + 1);
      var $uploaderyActiveField = Shoppad.$(e.target);
      $uploaderyActiveField.addClass('upload-complete');

      if ($uploaderyActiveField.find('div')[0].childNodes[0].nodeType === 3) {
        $uploaderyActiveField.find('div')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue = uploaderyFileName;
      } else {
        var uploaderyFileNameNode = document.createTextNode(uploaderyFileName);
        Shoppad.$(uploaderyFileNameNode).insertBefore($uploaderyActiveField.find('input'));
      }
    });
  });
</script>
```

Click **Save**.

#### Step 2: Update the Custom CSS

Add this snippet to the bottom of your Custom CSS:

```css
#uploadery-container .upload-complete label > div:after {
  content: none;
}
```

Click **Save** and refresh your product page.

***

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important\
If you enable the file name display script above, do not keep the original Step 3 script. Only one script should be active.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://shoppad.gitbook.io/uploadery/customize-the-app/style-file-upload-fields.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
